When the weight is raised to tilt f elbow-lever 58, the latter will b v tappet 109 turn shaft 107 to withdraw Catch 105 from un* derneath lever 101 against the action of spring 106. Thus the lever 101 will be drawn down. by spring 104 to close the switch 98 and light the bulb 17. The light will Continue to burn during the descent of the weight. When the` weight approaches the end of its descent, it will bear upon the treadle 111 to raise lever 101 and open switch 98. Then the lever is thus raised, the catch 105 will be drawn under it by Springv106, so that the lever 101 will hecorne reloeked in its raised position.

Vihat we claim is- 1. 1n a moving-picture exhibitor, the oombination of a winding-arbor with a work-shaft, an intervening clutch, a hlm-'feed drinn operatively connected to the work-shaft, a powershaft intergeared with the work shaft, a weight suspended from the power-shaft, and a `shipping -lever engaging the clutch and adapted to he operated by the weight, substantially as Speeiied.
